Tuesday - Cloudier, but still too hot!

A goodish day.

I woke up quite late today. Actually, I woke up early on and then went back to sleep, which of course meant I couldn’t get up on time! I spent some time on the couch and kept meaning to do a workout, but somehow I just didn’t want to do it. I finally did a mile walk and enjoyed it, but I didn’t do the arm workout that I usually do.

I did a few loads of laundry in the afternoon and also had lunch at an almost reasonable time. Almost. I scanned my two outgoing stamps, packaged up a Bookmooch, and a Gotochi card and sent them all off at the post office. It was good to get outside, even if there were scary cobwebs in the bikeshed.

When I came home, I got a call from F who said that he’d had a fight with a cat. I didn’t take him seriously and told him I’d try and eat before he came home so he didn’t have to wait.

I had a nice meal of leftover chicken and mushrooms which I sautéed in a pan and then added spaghetti to. I put a sauce on top of it all and mixed it up in my bowl. It was yummy! I had a side salad with it too. I finished up just as F came home and did the dishes as well.

When he came home he showed me his hand. He had had to capture a stray/half-wild cat for work and it had bitten him. I am a bit freaked out about it, especially since I played Google Doctor and found out how bad cat bites can be. His hand is quite swollen and painful, even though he has been cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide. I told him that he has to try and get time off work to see a doctor tomorrow. It’s a work injury after all.

I made a pot of decaf tea around 9:30 and then at 10 pm gingerly joined F on the couch for a bit of Grey’s Anatomy and crochet. I got a bit done and it was going well, with my crochet, not Grey’s I mean!

This is how the blanket looked before I did more joining tonight.

I really like the way that the "Sherbet" goes with the "Petrol" and the dark blue. I think it goes really well. I'm enjoying watching this one grow!

I did a few more Postcrossings tonight as well. I found out that F has taken off Thursday and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do any that night or not.

Anyway, F is having trouble sleeping so I think his hand must really hurt him. I’m planning to get to bed soon so that I can get up a bit earlier tomorrow. Or hoping maybe.

Come back and see what I get up to later. I might actually have something different going on tomorrow night. You never know! Come on back and find out. Until tomorrow….

As I read this book I had a couple of thoughts....She was very racist, although she would probably not have realized so as a product of her time. The other thought was how little things have changed in Japan since her travels! Oh, of cou...

I enjoyed this group of short stories. The first one is the best by a longshot, but the others have interesting ideas. Be aware that there is a lot of sex in the last short story and it is quite graphic.
I would be interested in reading...
